May 15, 2026 [Tank Storage Terminals]- The UK’s second largest port operator, Peel Ports Group, has joined forces with liquid bulk storage operator, Chane, whose main UK terminal is located at the port group’s Port of Liverpool HQ.

Chane is planning for significant expansion at the port by adding additional capacity, which will open up the range and types of liquids the group can handle. The two companies will work together to jointly target new and existing importers and exporters as they seek to grow liquid bulk cargoes through their collective networks.

The partnership will focus on strengthening commercial outreach across key industrial sectors, supporting increased volumes of liquid bulk products.

The agreement comes at a time of sustained demand growth in liquid bulk commodities, driven by changing energy requirements, increased biofuel adoption, and continued reliance on specialist chemical and food-grade logistics solutions.

Phil Hall, port director at the Port of Liverpool, Peel Ports Group comments: ‘Liquid bulk is becoming an increasingly important aspect of our cargo offering at the Port of Liverpool. This new partnership with Chane will strengthen our ability to support customers across multiple high-growth sectors. We look forward to working more closely with their teams, which we believe can help us both reach new markets across the UK and beyond.’

Andrew Shaw, terminal manager at Chane, adds: ‘Partnering with Peel Ports Group will allow us to build on our strong presence at the Port of Liverpool and extend our reach across its wider port network. By combining our specialist expertise with Peel Ports Group’s extensive infrastructure and strategic locations, we are well positioned to support even more customers with safe, efficient and scalable liquid bulk solutions.’
